"She has an unwavering dedication to teens and truly shows the Love of the Lord in everything she does."
Our Story
Why I started Uncommon Ground.
I spent years as a student ministry leader at my local church. I planned events, taught the Word of God, and watched something remarkable happen over and over again. Teens from completely different worlds would walk into the same room and leave as family.
Different backgrounds. Different social status. Different stories. They came together because they had one thing in common: their love for God. I watched Him build friendships between people who had no business being friends. That is where the name comes from. Uncommon Ground. Because God meets you exactly where you are and builds something from nothing.
I knew it needed to be bigger than four walls. There are teens in Port St. Lucie and Stuart who need this and have nowhere to go. No Christian-centered community built specifically for them. So I built it.
Where It Started
This community has been growing for years.
Before UGI had a name, it had a heartbeat. Here is where it was born.
God was moving before we had a building.
For years Bryanna poured into the lives of teens through her local church ministry. Camps, retreats, late nights, hard conversations. She watched God take a room full of strangers and turn them into a family.
That track record is the foundation UGI is built on. Not an idea. Not a program. A proven, lived-out conviction that when you create a space where Jesus is present and young people feel genuinely welcome, something uncommon happens.
UGI is that space, expanded. Available to every teen in our community and not just the ones who already belong to a church.
The Scripture We Stand On
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Jeremiah 29:11 through 13
